Meanwhile, I have partially found the problem. I found this in a FireFox forum. Online updating to XP service pack 2 automatically saddles you with Microsoft IPv6. The thread explained how to disable it in the firefox config. Now my FF browser runs like a top. Could probably do 165 with the top off.
Now if I could only figure out how to remedy the problem with IE. Unfortunately, some of my applications require that IE be working.

Along with disabling IP6 I would also remove QOS Packet scheduler, both have issues with certain type of network traffic. QOS was meant to help the average dial-up users, but it stinks on WAN applications of certain types.
